Lib Dems caught on tape 'reveal contempt'
Liberal Democrat ministers have told undercover journalists the prime minister is insincere and not to be trusted while the chancellor has "no experience of how ordinary people live".
Transport minister Norman Baker, deputy Commons leader David Heath, care minister Paul Burstow and local government minister Andrew Stunell are the latest politicians to be secretly recorded by the Daily Telegraph.
Heath said Osborne had "a capacity to get up one's nose" and had "no experience of how ordinary people live," while Stunell said he did not know where David Cameron stood on the "sincerity monitor".
The paper had previously taped an exchange with business secretary Vince Cable, who said he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch.
In an interview with the Guardian given before the Daily Telegraph's disclosure of the comments, Oliver Letwin said that a deep bond of trust had been formed between both coalition parties.
The Cabinet Office minister added that there was a "huge amount of policy overlap" between the two parties.
